Feet the split and peel from sailing boots?

Question

what can my son do to keep his feet from cracking and peeling from wearing his sailing boots (neoprene) has anyone else had this problem...

Answer 1

It sounds like his skin is getting wrinkled from being in the water too much. My Musto neoprene boots do a good job of draining water and keeping my feet warm.  

Is it possible your kid is wearing his boots all day or keeping his feet in the water all the time?

Your best bet may be to apply sports tape daily to protect the sensitive areas and allow the skin to grow back.
